Human Rights Watch accused Israel of unlawfully using white phosphorus in residential areas of Yohmor, southern Lebanon, on March 3, 2026, citing geolocated images showing airburst artillery strikes that caused fires in homes and vehicles.
The group stated the use of incendiary munitions in populated zones violates international humanitarian law, posing severe risks to civilians through burns, respiratory harm, and uncontrollable fires.
While Israel has previously claimed it uses white phosphorus only for smoke screening, it did not respond to the allegations.
